(Verse 1):
I feel so bad, I got a worried mind.
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind
on Blue Bayou.
Savin' nickels, savin' dimes,
workin' till the sun don't shine,
lookin' forward to happier times
on Blue Bayou.
(Chorus):
I'm goin' back someday, come what may,
to Blue Bayou
where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
where those fishin' boats with their sails afloat.
If I could only see
that familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes
how happy I'd be.
(Verse 2):
Gonna see my baby again.
Gonna be with some of my friends.
Maybe I'll feel better again on Blue Bayou.
Savin' nickels, savin' dimes,
workin' till the sun don't shine,
lookin' forward to happier times on Blue Bayou. (back to Chorus)
